\description{
\code{Expression}s are used to define filter logic for passing to a \link{Dataset}
\link{Scanner}.
\code{Expression$scalar(x)} constructs an \code{Expression} which always evaluates to
the provided scalar (length-1) R value.
\code{Expression$field_ref(name)} is used to construct an \code{Expression} which
evaluates to the named column in the \code{Dataset} against which it is evaluated.
\code{Expression$create(function_name, ..., options)} builds a function-call
\code{Expression} containing one or more \code{Expression}s. Anything in \code{...} that
is not already an expression will be wrapped in \code{Expression$scalar()}.
\code{Expression$op(FUN, ...)} is for logical and arithmetic operators. Scalar
inputs in \code{...} will be attempted to be cast to the common type of the
\code{Expression}s in the call so that the types of the columns in the \code{Dataset}
are preserved and not unnecessarily upcast, which may be expensive.
